I’ve been wanting to do another Leyendecker study/redraw for ages, so here’s some fancy

I’ve been wanting to do another Leyendecker study/redraw for ages, so here’s some fancy lads as a (very last minute, oops) final contribution to @ironqrowweek! I messed around with their outfits to make my life a bit easier when it came to replicating the style of the original illustration, and I think it worked rather well. Leaning into the old-timey formalwear fits pretty well with the general vibe of Atlas, and that’s where I imagine the fancy party they’ve ended up at is taking place. I rather enjoy the idea of Qrow being talked into wearing a bowtie and then deciding about five minutes into the evening that he’s had quite enough of that. And I don’t know why James has taken his gloves off (other than that was the pose in the ref I used) but I keep thinking too much about him being comfortable taking them off around Qrow and having emotions. Also their matching colour schemes? Love that.(Check out the full view, because I spent a lot of time putting details into this!) -- source link
